WORLDWALKWolf 1061 b
Wolf 1061 b is a hot Earth-size planet orbiting a red dwarf star 14 ly away. A year there lasts 4.9 days. It was found using the radial velocity method: it makes its star wobble. Note: its size is estimated from its mass, only a minimum mass is known.
What it would be like in Worldwalk imagined
Nobody has seen the surface of Wolf 1061 b. The game builds it from the real numbers above: you land on bare, cratered rock with no air.
- Air: None (bare rock). Surface pressure: almost none.
- A 70 kg explorer would feel like 91 kg.
- A jump that clears 50 cm on Earth would reach about 38 cm.
- With almost no air, a hammer and a feather fall side by side, and sound cannot travel.
Pack the right suit. Choose 3 of 6 modules (cooling, heating, pressure hull, extra oxygen, radiation shield, jetpack), complete 3 surveys and get back to the lander before your oxygen runs out.
